Added another WR to the collection
|
|
Seems as if I won this Westley 12 bore. Vendor said that it was ordered in March 1882 for Rev. F.W.A. Bowser and is #1 of a pair. Looks like a winner.

Lovely. Damascus barrels. What is the chamber size? What sort of loads will you shoot through it? What is it choked and what was its original purpose? ie driven birds or? A million questions. 
Well done on the purchase.

Well Casper I think there are a lot of keyboards all over the world that will have to be cleaned out after we all drool over this one!
Absolutely stunning piece, please don't forget to add in your loads when you get a chance to do so!
